Q. What is Web Governance and how does it work?

About Web Governance

Web Governance was founded in 2014 under the name Monsido. We provide a one-stop web governance solution that is designed to give website visitors a superior browsing experience. Our time-saving auditing tool provides accurate and insightful information to help organizations identify accessibility and quality assurance issues. This enables them to optimize their online presence and ensure compliance with legal requirements.

Web Governance provides a range of services including:

• Search Engine Optimization (SEO): Websites with error-free and readable content are more easily recognized by search bots as credible, quality websites that offer relevant information. This improves search rankings. A positive user experience also benefits SEO by reducing bounce rates and increasing conversions.
• Web Accessibility: We use tools and technologies that are specifically developed to aid the perception, understanding, contribution, navigation, and interaction of a person with a disability on the site. The four principles of web accessibility as defined by W3C outlines that web content needs to be: Perceivable, Operable, Understandable, and Robust.
• Quality Assurance: Quality Assurance checks include alerts for content errors such as broken links, broken images, spelling errors, and readability levels. Fix errors directly on the page without the need to log on to the platform.
• Statistics: View statistics on visitor behavior in an intuitive dashboard. See how guests navigate the site and easily identify search engine redirects, visitor location, languages used, devices, browsers used, operating systems used, cookie consents, and much more.
• Content Policies: Content Policies are essentially a set of rules that are designed to optimize online presence. Policies can help identify potential issues like guideline violations or outdated content. Choose relevant policies from the Web Governance pre-set library, or create your own unique policies that reflect the particular needs of your organization. Policies can be used to manage brand guides, style guides, regulatory guides, and much more.
• Heatmaps: Show traffic tendencies. The Heatmaps tool uses a warm-to-cold color scheme to show precise web page performance. It visually displays how visitors interact and navigate within the website, helps to identify problem areas, and suggests targeted improvements to ensure a better visitor experience.
• Cookie acceptance: Consent Manager is a powerful website banner and cookie consent management tool that enables your website to be compliant with local cookie and consent regulations like the GDPR and CCPA.
